The breakdown of the US constitutional order has deadly consequences for the world: we face an unprecedented situation with a narcissistic and deeply unpopular leader able to strike with deadly force anywhere in the world with virtually no functioning legal constraints on his power.

Not sure what’s worse, the hypocrisy or the incest.

The whole cartel drones story behind the closure of El Paso airspace today has the feel of a failed false flag operation.

Plans to invade Greenland have just been cancelled after this

It's obvious but still striking to consider that we have a United States government driven solely by one man's emotional dysregulation and dysfunction.

I'm weaning myself off political commentary on the present moment. There is nothing left to opine on. I'm shifting to breaking news only and calls to action.

Greenland should be the uncrossable redline.

to any politicians out there: the only metric by which i am deciding my votes in any future Democratic primary is how far they're willing to go in punishing this administration and i am far from the only one

They're already coming for dissident Americans.

Nobody is ready to accept that the way to reign in Trump and Putin is to defeat Trump and Putin. It won't be easy, painless, or without heavy costs. We aren't prepared but we have to try.

PDs are always the unsung heros no matter who they represent. I'm proud to have been one.

Venezuela today, Cuba and Iran tomorrow. Russia's allies appear to be under threat. Will an unintended consequence be further nuclear proliferation aided by a cornered Russia? Just asking questions.

The world better put their defense preparation in high gear, including but not limited to Denmark/Greenland/EU, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, and Panama.

With the United States' illegal attack on Venezuela and kidnapping operation of a sitting foreign leader, we're basically in a slow burn world war when you factor in all the other hot wars going on.

Today is International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. Laws that criminalise sex work don’t prevent sex work, they just make it more difficult for sex workers to work safely. #DecrimNow

One silverlining in the collapse of US funding for HIV prevention that is NOT prevention but American healthcare colonialism. www.devex.com/news/us-retr...

This year I get to skip both the 🌎 cup and 💶 vision. Fuck them.

ICE is an internal police force now. Attacking immigrants is a pretext to attack anyone.

Trump killed Sarah Beckstrom.

Making Canada Greater Still. Siebel Institute of Technology leaves Chicago and relocates their brewers program to Montreal as a direct result of this administration. Sad but I love beer and I love Montreal. Good for them. www.ctvnews.ca/business/art...

sorry, not sorry

Yeah!

And let's not forget the millions of boys operated on every year to remove their foreskins. This is gender anti-affirming care imposed by adults on children for the ego and preference of the adults.

Bluesky is becoming unhealthy for me in a way Twitter was. It's the platform type, I believe. A total outrage machine all the time. The only way Twitter/Bluesky type platforms work is with a lot of breaking news and fewer hot takes. There is far too little breaking news on here.

Demolition of the White House is meant, among other things, to demonstrate the president's royal prerogative to unilaterally take ownership of the nation.

Appalling, grotesque, typical maga republican

Sometimes I wonder if Francis Fukuyama (the end of history guy) and Steven Pinker (the better angels of our nature guy) ever get together, and discuss how badly they got it wrong.

Fuck Charlie Kirk.

Charlie Kirk was a horrible human being bringing out the worst in people both in life AND now in death.

Charlie Kirk is dead. Let's all just put it behind us. All the sorrow and recrimination is not going to bring him back. Time to move on. 🗽🗽🗽

A $200,000,000 surveillance system that might eventually include reciprocal data from Texas law enforcement in a Mexican state that is notorious for cartel --> law enforcement infiltration. What could go wrong besides everything. The Eyes of Chihuahua www.texasobserver.org/texas-chihua...

Trump’s irresistible salespitch to foreign businesses: “If you build your factory here, we’ll arrest everyone inside!”

If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you

I've been repressing it for months now, but finally I'm feeling the utter despair from the realization that the people of this country really did put Trump and all his chaos, cruelty, and grift back in the White House.

A tale of two vibes.

Too horrible to contemplate yet I've seen more flight activity than usual around Fort Bliss in the last month. What a tragedy in the making. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If the Republicans/Neo-Confederates screw us at the midterms, that's the end of politics in the United States since at least FDR was president and maybe since James Buchanan.

My point is simply that saying LGBTQ people are less lonely than the straights can make the lonely among us feel exceptionally worse about themselves.

The trade talks between the US and the world are performative on both sides. The US delegation engages to assuage Trump's ego. The world engages to appear cooperative, also to assuage Trump's ego.

When you have a rich country with a thriving economy imposing tariffs on its trading partners, even crazy high tariffs, it can take far longer than you think to slow trade. Trading partners of the United States should keep that in mind.

“There is no moral difference between telling people they can have a shower so you can gas them in gas chambers and telling people they can have food so you can shoot them at aid sites. A holocaust is happening right before our eyes and the world is silent.” - Mohamad Safa, PVA rep. to the UN.
